With both Disney Parks open in the U.S., fans can finally get back to enjoying that special Disney magic when it comes to visiting Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida — and that includes celebrities as well.

Over the weekend, celebs Justin Timberlake and Simu Liu documented their trips to Disney, and of course, they absolutely had to visit Galaxy’s Edge.

Timberlake headed to the East Coast park, Disney World (via People), where Galaxy’s Edge lies in the Hollywood Studios park. There, he and his son visited Savi’s Workshop to build their own lightsabers. Timberlake went for the Luke Skywalker-green saber while his son went for the classic blue.

The singer/actor shared about his trip on Instagram: “I don’t know who was freaking out more… me or my 6-year-old. This was the coolest.”

He also thanked Walt Disney World in the post, to which the Disney World account responded, “The Force is strong with this family! Glad you had fun.”

Simu Liu visits Galaxy’s Edge in California

On the other side of the country, actor Simu Liu (Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) visited the original Disneyland in California.

“Consider this our @StarWars audition,” Liu wrote on Instagram, sharing various photos of him and his friends with lightsabers and around Disneyland park. The actor also participated in building his own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop, sharing photos of that experience as well as other photos of his liking around Galaxy’s Edge. And by the looks of it, we totally wouldn’t mind seeing Liu come over to the Star Wars side of Disney after the MCU!

One of the more interesting things Liu revealed in his Instagram post was that he got to visit the brand new Avengers Campus land, which is over on the California Adventure side of Disneyland. Of course, he wasn’t able to share much on Instagram about this new campus. But hopefully, with the land set to open on June 4, Disney Parks will share more about what we can see from the park soon. And if it’s anything like Galaxy’s Edge, then it’s bound to be another thrilling, immersive adventure for fans of all ages.
